(CNSNews.com) A top Obama advisor said at an American Association for the Advancement of Science conference on Thursday that climate change threatens our national security, including military bases that could be misplaced by rising sea levels.
It could, for example, affect our military mission, Alice Hill, senior advisor for Preparedness and Resilience to the assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism, said during a panel discussion on Current Federal Efforts to fight climate change.
If our key military bases were severely damaged by extreme weather or if theyre just threatened by sea level rise so that we have to be thinking, Where are we going to move them? said Hill, who was a Superior Court judge in Los Angeles before she was appointed as counsel for the Department of Homeland Security by then-Secretary Janet Napolitano in 2009.
Hill quoted Secretary of State John Kerry ahead of her remarks about the military and said climate change will affect virtually every country on earth.
As Secretary Kerry has recently noted, climate change can produce effects similar of those of weapons of mass destruction, Hill said.
We know that climate change will affect virtually every country on earth, Hill said. It is, after all, global climate warming.
Other nations around the world are also viewing this as a national security risk, Hill said citing the American Security Project, which she said found 70 percent of countries around the world have addressed climate change as part of their national security strategy.
We know, for example, that climate change will affect water security; food security, energy systems and the stability of our infrastructure, Hill said. It could, for example, affect our military mission.
If our key military bases were severely damaged by extreme weather or if theyre just threatened by sea level rise so that we have to be thinking, Where are we going to move them? Hill asked.
Hill began her remarks by describing her work at the White House and its connection to climate change.
My work in particular focuses on the intersection of climate change and national security, Hill said. I work on the National Security Council staff, and let me make clear that [climate change] is viewed as an issue of national security, Hill said.
It’s not time. Wait until Al Gore sells his beach house mansion, then relocate.
If our key military bases were severely damaged by extreme weather or if theyre just threatened by sea level rise so that we have to be thinking, Where are we going to move them?
Why not move Naval and Marine facilities inland to Joshua Tree National Park, to alleviate those concerns.
You already own the land and fer sure there won’t be a flood there in the foreseeable future...
Not a bad idea, I used to like the nice dry climate around Joshua Tree National Park and there’s lots of great golf courses nearby.
I hear that Europe and the Far East will have rising oceans also so we should bring home all our troops stationed there and since the Northern and Southern borders of the lower 48 are a low risk to be covered by the rising seas we can build new bases every 100 miles or so on each border where our Military personnel will be safe from the danger and since they are there already they can build us some walls and guard them!
The Obamabots think that by just repeating the “global warming” lies that that makes them true.
Or, they could not be misplaced by rising sea levels that never materialize.
Where do the Obama people find all these lightweights anyway?
Sadly, I believe our lib colleges and universities are turning more than even 0bama people need.
The San Joaquin and Sacramento river valleys would make a great Naval base. The floods come in through the San Francisco delta region and fill both valleys to a depth of about 120 feet, protected on all sides by the coastal, transverse and Sierra Nevada ranges.
Gets rid of San Fagcisco and Sacracrookto at the same time.
WIN, WIN.
Military Bases are threatened, Really?
Name them.
One good thing about it though. When Gitmo sinks, the Jihadist Rats will drown.
NO: Camp Pendleton is to be turned into an endangered Pacific Diamond-Back rattle snake preserve.
just don’t send them south.
I see what you did there.
Move the narrative into the corrective response phase for a complete fabrication. Attention being spent on solving the means no time spent on the facts, truth and viability of the original cause (which doesn’t exist at all).
Placing a frame around the picture in a frame to lock in the picture in a picture. Not bitin’ on that hook.

Because that was Boosh, and we all know he was stoooopid. And besides, lightning never strikes the same place twice, so stoooopid Boosh accidentally got it right by rebuilding it in the safest place possible! /libtard
10-12,000 years ago, the last tribes of mammoth hunters also tried to fight Global Climate Change/Warming by banning the use of cooking fires, and mandating the use of extra furs instead of allowing heating fires at night.
They could see the glaciers in retreat, and the rising river & sea levels threatening their way of life, and the very existence of the herds they depended upon.
They, being ignorant savages, could conceive of no good result from this climate catastrophe, so instituted measures to stave off the disaster.
It didn’t work for them; and it was one of the best things to happen to Mankind.
We still elect ignorant savages to govern us, who learned nothing from the past.
Another example of our bloated government.
Wonder how many six figure salaries just that one small part of the gubmint has.
